This is from the rumor section of this week's InfoWorld.  The claim is that
MicroSoft's Steve Ballmer sent a note to Tommy Steele (IBM OS/2 2.0 development
head honcho) in which he offered to crawl down a corridor on his hands and
kneews and eat a diskette (!) if OS/2 2.0 ships by October 1.

Who would have expected encouragement from MS?
